mary ellen, welcome to the program on a very, very difficult day for newtown, connecticut, for the united states, for every parent out there. what do we know for the little that we know about the suspect? what can you deduce? >> well, from what i've heard so far, and it seems like it's changing every couple of minutes, is that the mother of this shooter was working or was an employee at the school. it's still a little confusing to me. i understand that she is also deceased. and what i'm hearing is that she was found at the school. so if that fact pattern is correct, that her son is the shooter, then what makes sense is that this really did start off as a familial problem, a dispute likely between the mother and the son, and it certainly escalated to unbelievable proportions. what they've been looking at right now is if that, in fact, is the case they would be looking for evidence of that search warrant and in the background that they are developing on both the mother and the shooter. >> mary ellen, we understand that a lot of the schools across the district have gone into lockdown mode as
